The HackerHome NetworkWhether you're new to the Valley, bored with your current housing or need a transient place... I would like to help. When you reserve with me, you'll have instant friends and be part of a network of 10+ homes in the Bay Area.

The space

Spacious 2 story home with plenty of work areas. Three bedrooms on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor.

Why would someone say light cooking? Home prepped meals really warms up the house and it's encouraged.

Interaction with guests

It's a house full of people & different schedules. So please use ear plugs if necessary. If you're a light sleeper or can't sleep on a single mattress, this may not be the right place for you.

We are a very communal/respectful group and strive to provide space for everyone to work and hangout. Remember that work, musical instruments and books take precedence over the television.

Other things to note

More than one suitcase? Consult with me prior to making your reservation.

Respectful Housing for WomenFemales in a separate room. If you'd like to stay in the girls' room, please check with me on availability before reserving. If you don't have a preference, then just make your reservation.

CleaningThe Airbnb cleaning fee is to make sure you have a clean bed upon arrival and not to clean up after you. All spaces are shared, so please be mindful of picking up after yourself.

Best Way to Reach Me1. Complete your Airbnb profile with an ID/Passport and connect your social networks. 2. One line about your purpose of visit. 3. Let me know your estimated time of arrival.

VIC was even able to accommodate me with a late notice

My stay at Vic’s San Jose hacker home has been an awesome experience. The house itself has all the basics needed to make your stay great: convenient to downtown SJ and freeways, comfortable beds, kitchens upstairs and downstairs, and a good people-to-bathroom ratio (by co-living standards).
What makes this hacker home truly stand out is not the amenities, but the people. I came to the Bay Area for a summer internship, not knowing anyone or anything to do in town. Staying the hacker home, I was able to almost instantly make friends with other likeminded interns (many who stay in the home long-term) and professionals and explore the Bay Area together. In addition, Vic, the host, was super friendly and accommodating. He occasionally has socials so you get to meet people from other hacker homes as well.
I highly recommend staying at any of Vic’s hacker homes and look forward to continuing my stay at Vic’s place in San Jose for the remainder of summer.

This was my 2nd time around at the Hacker Home, and it was even better than before! It's conveniently located near downtown SJ; and there are always some amazing housemates to meet - from exchange students, to budding software developers, entrepreneurs, and others.
Aside from the house itself, Vic (the host) is simply awesome! He always ensures one's well-informed about the house details prior to arrival, comfortable on check-in, and goes out of his way to ensure his guests are super happy! He also hosts numerous events, which is a tremendous opportunity to meet folks from other Hacker Homes in the Bay Area.
Definitely will stay here again when back in the area.

What a boss Vic is! Really awesome host! Very welcoming, when we first met he took me and another guest out to a local restaurant. Also he responds super fast.
The house was great, very clean. And is cleaned regularly. Great experience meeting others who live there. I'd definitely stay again if I'm in the area!

My stay at Vic's place was wonderful. I met a few good people and the stay was comfortable. This place is ideal for short term stays for adults and long term for students, which is the case here at this Downtown SJ residence.
